      Recommended M1 Carbine appraiser in central MD?

      I bought a sweet M1 Carbine a while back and I would like to find out whether it has significant historical value or instead is just a shooter. No interest in selling; I just want to know what I have. Willing to compensate an expert's time. Honestly, I am hoping for the latter. I don't want...

      Maryland AR Manufacturers?

      With my Black Friday shopping, I realized that all of my AR lowers (if not complete firearms) are of Maryland manufacture - Engage, LWRC, Fulton, and Hanover. What makers am I lacking? Just kind of a fun intellectual exercise at this juncture, but I'm curious.

      Suggestions Solicited: AR PDW stock

      Hi, all. Looking for suggestions to replace the Troy PDW stock I'm running on my 300 Blackout SBR. It works fine, but the proprietary bolt is a little limiting because I want to be able to use a 22lr-specific upper from time to time - to say nothing about how cool the latest-gen Fostech Echo...

      Disapproved for "any location within state" travel?

      Apologies if this has been posted before; my search fu turned up nothing relevant. Last March, I filed 5320.20 forms for my NFA firearms to the NRA Range and "; any locations within state" for a year period. They were approved, and I could cross into VA at whim with them (the fact that I...

      virtues of 5.45x39?

      Thinking of jumping into this caliber with the current availability of sweet-ass rifles, but I'm trying to take a pragmatic analysis first. I have 5.56 and 300 BLK rifles in hand, with a few dozen magazines of various types. I have to weigh out the value of (a) another rifle, magazines, and...

      recommended rimfire upper?

      I have an AR SBR set up for 300 Blackout, but would like to pair that with a dedicated shorty 22 upper for cheaper range sessions. I plan to suppress it, so threaded barrel is a must. I also plan to run it with the 15-22 magwell adapter. Anyone love what they have? Thanks in advance...

      Looking for an MCX pistol in 300 Blackout

      Anyone have one in stock? Also, out of interest, I wanted to know whether they would pair with the MCX rifle-length conversion kits. So, for instance, could I put a 16" 5.56 unit on the pistol and call it a rifle in that configuration? (Given the interchangeability in the AR platform, I don't...

      Legality of Buying/Selling Mini-14 Folding Stocks?

      I'm embarrassed to say that I'm still confused by some of the implications of FSA 2013 (may it ever rot in hell). I have two aftermarket Mini-14 stocks, but no longer a Mini-14. I'd like to find them new homes. Enter the idiocy of the "regulated firearms" list, as poured-in-concrete in...

      Dolos-based AR pistol upper build

      So I am very impressionable, and the recent MAC video on a Dolos-based pistol build inspired me to do a similar build in 300 Blackout. I have an Engage E4 pistol but am using the upper from that purchase in a dedicated SBR (stamp acquired). I have a side-charging upper from TomKat Ammo on...

      Gun shops along I-81?

      I'm planning a trip close to Blacksburg in a couple of weeks and I'd like recommendations on shops. I'm especially interested in augmenting my collection of standard-capacity magazines. What say you?

      process for selling an SBR in-state

      Based on info learned in another thread (thanks again, Nate!), I am strongly considering the sale of my LE-surplus Colt M4 SBR. I know that this will be a complicated process for me and for the prospective purchaser. I wanted to clarify the process. Is the following correct? After the...

      AR SBRs, compact stocks, and OAL

      Let me begin by stating that my searches haven't discovered a thread covering this, so please correct me if I'm wrong there. Let me also say that I have no intention of disobeying the law but will not ask for an ATF opinion on the matter (I leave that to my betters, like Chad). I have one...

      any IPs have 10/22 suppressed barrels?

      thinking of upgrading my 10/22 with a bull barrel, so weighing out the option of integral suppression. Who has them in stock, and what do they generally run? Aside #1 - the only downside to a bull barrel is the loss of the iron sights. Anyone deal with this? Innovative solutions welcome...

      PCC recommendations?

      It's always fun to get everyone weighing in on what they like/don't like, so... I've had significant issues finding PCCs I like. My philosophy of use is to increase accuracy over a handgun and suppression. I have SBRs/pistols in rifle calibers, so I am cool with a 16" barrel. Another...

      recommended storefronts in/near Gettysburg?

      Looks like I'll be up this way tomorrow on family business. Whenever I cross the MD border in any direction. I'm on the hunt for standard-capacity magazines. Right now, the VP9 is number one priority, though Glock 9mm and AR opportunities are more than welcome. Suggestions?

      need VP9/P30 magazines

      Anybody got em in stock? I'd.take an extra couple of 10-rounders. But I'm also expecting to be in DE and VA over the next few weeks, so free-state leads.will be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance.

      recommendations for SBR uppers (9mm, .22lr)

      I know parts of this has been done to death in other threads, but I get great suggestions from you folks, so here goes. Currently: I have a pre-281 Colt M4 SBR, 11.5" barrel and a 30.5" OAL. (Wow, the tax stamp was good for something!) I also have an Engage E4 pistol currently wearing a 10.5"...

      Recommendations for a .45 ACP suppressor host?

      I have an AWC Nexus II can in NFA jail. Assuming thread and caliber adapters are available, I plan to host in on 9mm handguns and my Glock JRC in addition to a .45. I intend to have it on hand mostly for home defense but also some range time for practice, certainly. I have 9mm hosts set up...

      rimfire AR pistol on MD Handgun Roster?

      Apologies if this is a dupe or been discussed to death . . . my search fu on this forum is very lacking, but I did try. Does anyone know of any rimfire AR pistols that are already on the handgun roster? With the SIG brace ruling, and the likelihood of purchasing a centerfire version soon, I'm...

      Accessible/MD Acquirable PDW

      I don't know about you, but the recent/impending state and federal regulations make me damned dizzy (so their evil plan is working). I have a sweet factory M4 SBR and was psyched to have Engage mount the NEA CCS on it - only to find out that the lower was fabricated to prevent FA conversion, and...
